Chelsea: We'll stop Henry
By Matt Hughes and Leo Spall, Evening Standard
12 February 2004


Chelsea kept up the pressure in the title race last night and vowed to stop
Thierry Henry and Arsenal in their tracks.


The two London giants face each other twice in seven days, starting with
Sunday's FA Cup fifth round tie and then a crunch league clash next weekend.


The Gunners are still undefeated in the league but Chelsea are just six points
behind following their 2-0 victory at Portsmouth last night.


However, Chelsea know they will have to stop Henry, who has scored 101 goals
in the Premiership since 1999, if they are to have a chance in either
competition.


Midfielder Frank Lampard said: 'Henry seems to be virtually unstoppable at the
moment, but we have a chance because we have top central defenders in
John Terry, William Gallas and Marcel Desailly.


'At his best, though, with that pace and skill, there's not much you can do to
stop him.'


Chelsea have already lost to Arsenal 2-1 in the Premiership and Lampard added:
'We had a couple missing that day and were a bit unlucky, but you can't say
we've been unfortunate for the last four seasons when they've beaten us.
We have to change and I believe we can.


'If we play at our best we have a great chance because their run can't go on
for ever. We're still firmly in the Premiership hunt. Manchester United put a
great run together towards the end of last season so why can't we do the same
this year?'


'It was good to beat Portsmouth because that's three wins on the spin in
potentially difficult games. Arsenal seem to be winning every week and we have
to match them to keep in the race.'
